🚨 Time is Running Out: U.S. Must Pass Crypto Laws Before 2026 Elections 🇺🇸

The window to pass meaningful crypto legislation in the U.S. is closing fast — and missing it could leave lasting damage. Marta Belcher, president of both the Blockchain Association and the Filecoin Foundation, recently stressed the urgent need for regulatory clarity before the 2026 election cycle disrupts any forward momentum.

On Cointelegraph’s Decentralize podcast, Belcher emphasized the risk of political uncertainty after the midterms, especially with a Congress that could either support or stall innovation. She reflected on the damage done by past regulatory crackdowns — particularly under Gary Gensler and the Biden administration — which forced many promising blockchain projects to relocate overseas.

Now, there’s a narrow but real opportunity:

🏛️ Congress is actively moving on stablecoin and crypto market structure bills, with potential votes on stablecoin legislation expected soon.

But there’s a catch. ⚠️ After summer, priorities could shift quickly in Washington. Belcher warned: If action isn’t taken this year, we might lose the chance altogether.

The crypto industry is ready to comply — it just needs a clear path. Even if the legislation isn’t perfect, progress now is better than delay and uncertainty later.

🤝 A call for compromise. A call for action.

The time is now — or risk falling behind permanently.
